Bringing the European Higher Education Fair outside Manila for the first time, the EU Delegation to the Philippines, the EU Member States Embassies and Cultural Institutes will conduct a networking meeting between European higher education institutions and their counterparts on Nov. 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 pm, at Cebu Normal University, Cebu City. This follows the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) on Nov. 10, at Fairmont Hotel, Makati.

Students, faculty, academicians and researchers are invited to the information sessions, 1:30 to 4 p.m., from the institutions from Czech Republic, France, Spain and the Erasmus+ Programme.

“The European Higher Education Fair is not only a platform to showcase education offerings, distinctions and coverage, but a venue where we would want to engage in dialogue with our Filipino partners to exchange the techniques and best practices, as well as information on higher education opportunities”, said Mattias Lentz,  Minister Counsellor of the EU Delegation to the Philippines.

The networking meeting will bring together 10 EU higher learning institutions in Cebu, along with their Visayan counterparts under one roof.  The participating universities are from the Czech Republic: the University of Pardubice, Technical University of Liberec, University of Hradec Kralove, and Masaryk University; from Spain—the Spanish Service for Internationalization of Education (SEPIE); from France, Universite Catholique de l’Ouest, Network “n+i” Engineering Institutes, Le Cordon Bleu, and the IESEG School Management, and, from Spain, Spanish Service for Internationalization of Education.

The meeting will explore the prospects of cooperation and partnerships between EU and universities from Visayan and Mindanao regions.
